The way the lights in the bottle came to life when sprayed with water was so magical 😃🤗

[@oladyhemp]

So true! It impresses me every time. 🫶🏻

[@kandifish8942]

🥰love this!..more neocolors techniques please!🤩

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you so much!

[@GrandysLaura]

Thank you for showing this technique. It looks like it turns the Neocolor texture into something lighter, more transparent.

[@oladyhemp]

I’m glad you like it!

[@keva_artwork]

Oh my. This is a great way to do abstract backgrounds with these neocolor II. Thank you for showing this.

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you so much! You are absolutely right that it could be a good background technique for mixed media art.

[@Angela-jy8um]

Nice! I've never seen anyone use neo 2s this way. Thanks for sharing.

[@oladyhemp]

Me too. That’s why I decided to share it here. Thank you so much for watching!

[@polly5766]

[@lookingup4505]

Thanks for sharing. I will get mine out and experiment. I love your homemade sketchbook at 14:30.

[@oladyhemp]

Thanks a lot! I love making sketchbooks.

Brilliant idea using a used contact lens case for gouache!

[@oladyhemp]

Yes, it surprisingly keeps gouache and watercolor fresh for years! In the second part of this lens case I have some dark watercolor which I squeezed from a tube 5 years ago and barely used it, but it is still soft.

[@mashkin85]

Loved it and already tried it out! Such a delightful video, Olga - thank you for sharing♥

[@oladyhemp]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!

[@jlm517rocks]

using the scoring tool is perfect...neo 2's are a fave...made a couple of 'watercolor' air tight palettes & use a waterbrush to paint with (Sophie mcpike inspo)... Appreciate yr talents, tips & tweaks...ty.

[@oladyhemp]

Great tip! Thank you for sharing!

[@helenag.9386]

Your style is so lovely! Soft and dreamy. I thought neocolors were too cartoon-like as crayons but I love them for their convenience. Shame they don't granulate!

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you! I absolutely agree with you. Neocolor II is a very versatile material.

[@elliegreen872]

Very beautiful, unexpectedly so.

[@oladyhemp]

Thank you!

[@mychellecobo3422]

Hi, thanks for showing this. I tried this with Albrecht Dürer Aquarell Colored Pencils and it did Not work. Great, to know Neocolor 2 make it. I Like the way you present your Art in the Video 😊

[@oladyhemp]

Glad it was helpful! In my experience Albreht Durer watercolor pencils are not that pigmented as neocolor II. But that’s a good idea to try if it works also for Carandache Watercolor pencils. As I noticed they are the most pigmented among that kind of pencils.

[@vaninafernandez3043]

I dilute them with an almost clogged waterbrush

[@oladyhemp]

That’s a good technique too! Thank you for sharing!
